Heavy breathing and Phil telling them there's only 1 plate left. Yoga teachers need some zen right about now. Both teams think they have one.

Lance/Keri: You know that's it! Phil: That is correct.

Phil: Eric/Lisa, there are no more plates left. Unfortunately, no more tickets to Tokyo. Sorry to tell you, you both have been eliminated from the Race. Lisa: I was really looking forward to it, but on to the next adventure. Eric: We took the beating for everybody.

We have our first snit of the competition getting off the first plane. Two females don't want the other to talk to them.at.all.anymore.nohow.noway

First batch of teams get cabs.

Sam/Dan get the moniker "The Hot Guys." Of course, the girls don't (yet) know they're g-a-e

Lots of traffic in Tokyo, and Mika/Canann's cabbie takes the inside track of the highway, literally, driving on the shoulder.

M/C arrive at the studio. ROULETTE WHEEL!

Meg/Cheyne 2nd to arrive C conf: What if .. it's a Japanese Game Show! (And of course, it is.)

Teams arrive one by one from the first batch as the MC and crowd cheer. Apparently they'll all participate soon.

First group, I think they're all finally present.

SUSHI ROULETTE! ARE YOU READY TO PRAY! Phil: The host spins a wheel with sushi and wasabi treats. Contestants eat whatever lands, must continue to play until receiving a Wasabi Bomb. When get THAT treat, they must consume it within 2 minutes. Fireballfood here we come!

Cheyne's done! Ron's done! CLUE(S): Phil: Teams must now match up colored flags with matching visors and lead them through the ____ crossing, where a million people pass daily. This Shinto shrine is the pitstop. Last team to check in may be eliminated.

Garrett and Justin next to try the Wasabi. J conf: It hits you like a ton of bricks!

Cheyene finds a group of people with visors.Meghan asks for people who speaka da English. Marcy finds her blue-visored group and plays her harmonica to cheer them along. She's fun! Ron isn't, though ... he's a dud.

Back at the scarf-down ... Justin's finished! They leave in 3rd. Garrett's struggling but finishes with 7 seconds to spare.
